Right? What I need is for my VI Host server to be able to access a USB cd rom on the host, and make that available to the VM running in VI. Is this possible? For it to be possible with that free tool the free tool would need to install on the host Linux OS, to make the "usb devices served to client" server piece run? And the client piece run on the VM?
